This timely Handbook explores the handling of city and municipal
finances in the 21st century. It examines the impact of the Great
Recession and Covid-19 pandemic on cities and municipalities,
highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and avenues for future progress
in city and municipal financial management. Bringing together
leading global scholars of public finance and budgeting, economics,
law, political science and policy analysis, this Handbook
scrutinises how cities and municipalities have adapted after crisis
periods. It combines theoretical ideas, empirical findings and
practical applications, focusing on federalist systems as well as
including global case studies from diverse governance contexts.
Contributors analyse sources of revenue for cities and
municipalities, critical areas of spending, fiscal structure,
budgeting, debt, pensions and financial resilience. Forward
thinking, it considers the strength and resilience of city and
municipal finances in meeting long-term liabilities and responding
to short-term crises. This Handbook will be an invaluable resource
for students and scholars of public finance and administration,
urban economics, and political economy. Providing cutting-edge
policy recommendations, it will also be a highly useful guide for
policy-makers and administrators seeking to effectively guide city
and municipal finances.
The ability of a nation to finance its basic infrastructure is
essential to its economic well-being in the 21st century. This
second edition of State and Local Financial Instruments covers the
municipal securities market in the United States from the
perspective of its primary capital financing role in a fiscal
federalist system, where subnational governments are responsible
for financing the nation's essential physical infrastructure. Using
the latest financial research, the authors use data-driven analysis
to inform current public policy debates regarding the future of
subnational government debt finance. The theories, research and
practical examples in the book illustrate the policies and
practices that helped governments navigate through the COVID-19
pandemic, the Financial Crisis and Great Recession, and that
contributed to government shipwrecks. The book is designed to help
officials make good, sound fiscal choices in a fast changing,
complex financial world entwined in a network of intermediaries,
and within the constraints imposed by fiscal rules and
institutions. This updated edition will be of interest to
academics, students and researchers interested in economics,
finance, international studies and public administration and
policy. It is also an excellent reference tool for government
officials, public policymakers and professionals working in
finance.

Conclusion Index
Early treatment literature on anorexia nervosa and bulimia reported
almost exclusively on brief treatment approaches that entailed
either psychopharmacological or cognitive-behavioral interventions.
While this literature demonstrated that one-third of these patients
were treatable with brief therapy and another one third showed
improvement, the final one-third of these patients did not respond
to brief interventions. Recent research indicates that this last
group of patients may also suffer from significant personality
disorders or Axis II co-morbidity. Considered difficult to treat,
these patients require longer term, informed individual
psychotherapy. Designed specifically to address the challenges of
this difficult-to-treat population, this volume is the first to
focus exclusively on exploring eating disorders from a
psychodynamic perspective.
Chapters are written by foremost clinicians in field who examine
their current views regarding the etiology and treatment of this
client population from a psychodynamic perspective. Part I,
focusing on aspects of the self and questions of technique, covers
such topics as the role of interpretation of transference and
resistance; the relationship of bulimia, dissociation, and empathy;
eating disorders as displacement from psychological self to body
self; boundaries in the psychotherapeutic relationship; and an
interpersonal psychoanalytic technique for treatment. Part II,
addressing special subpopulations, discusses the implications of
treating eating disorders with patients who also exhibit masochism,
borderline personality disorder, and false-self/narcissistic
disorders. This section also includes a unique chapter that delves
into genderidentity issues in male bulimia nervosa. Part III,
reflecting feminist psychodynamic perspectives, offers new ways of
thinking about development, countertransference, and the role of
therapist in the treatment of women with eating disorders. Part IV
examines the integration of such approaches as object relations and
family systems, psychodynamic and behavior therapy, and offers
discussion on disorders of the self in anorexia nervosa.
Written primarily for the advanced clinician who treats clients
with eating disorders, PSYCHODYNAMIC TREATMENT OF ANOREXIA NERVOSA
AND BULIMIA is a valuable resource for psychiatrists,
psychologists, social workers, and other mental health
practitioners who work with this difficult-to-treat population. It
also serves as supplementary reading for advanced graduate courses
that feature a component on eating disorders.
